TEXTBOOK BUYBACK INFORMATION
At our end of term buybacks in May, August, and December, the bookstore will pay 50% of the current price of a new copy of a textbook if:
1. The bookstore has received a request from the instructor stating that your textbook is being used for the following term.
2. If your textbook is in good condition.
3. If the bookstore is not currently overstocked on the textbook.
Buybacks begin on the first day of finals. The sooner that you can bring your book to the store, the more likely it is that you will receive half price.
For books that are not needed here on campus, the bookstore acts as an agent for several used book wholesalers. We provide this service so students can sell their books even if we cannot buy them at the higher bookstore price. The prices paid for used books are set by the wholesalers. Many factors contribute to the price set for books by the wholesalers, including:
1. Release or pending release of a new edition - old editions have no resale value.
2. Supply and demand for the book in the textbook market.
